“In 1969 I gave up women and alcohol — it was the worst 20 minutes of my life,” George Best. The Boy who was more beautiful than football.
A footballer by calling, a coach almost by accident; a natural-born goalscorer and a full-blooded provocateur — a barcelonista and an antimadridista in the truest sense of both words. A man whose volatile temperament often dragged not only himself, but his entire team, into trouble.
A true pioneer on and off the pitch, Johan Cruyff transformed football with his vision and unique style of play. But his legacy goes beyond trophies and tactics; he continues to inspire people to think differently, lead with purpose, and challenge the status quo.
Perhaps football's greatest ever, a coach who never quite fulfilled his promise, and a lightning rod for controversy. He remains an immortal figure in Argentine football, a mosaic of brilliance and chaos.
